As the World Economic Forum draws to a close in Davos, Power Play rounds off the week with analysis of an eventful week in the Swiss Alps.
Host Anne McElvoy brings together a top team of POLITICO’s reporters: Alex Ward, national security reporter based in Washington; Nahal Toosi, senior foreign affairs correspondent; and Suzanne Lynch, author of POLITICO’s Global Playbook, your must-read each morning to keep up with the latest news from Davos.
They discuss China’s notable presence this week, President Zelenskyy’s plea for the international community to refocus on Ukraine’s war with Russia and whether American eyes have been distracted by events back home as Donald Trump returns to the fray. We unpack how the business community is grappling with fast-changing technological advances as well as geopolitical uncertainty in a bumper election year. And stay tuned to hear who our team deems as the surprising “hero” of the Davos crowd.
